Lindsay Grimes Freedman, a Newport Beach, Calif.-based food blogger, promotes the adaptability and health benefits of what she calls "the world's most versatile vegetable" in her first cookbook, "Cauliflower Power."
The author's 75 recipes cover everything from breakfast (Cauliflower French Toast), lunch (Cauliflower Falafel), happy hour (Vegan Queso) and dinner (Cauliflower Chili), plus an assortment of desserts that include the cruciferous veggie. Freedman began experimenting with using cauliflower for low-glycemic recipes when her husband was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2011.
She says these "tots" are lower in carbs and calories than their potato cousins, plus they are packed with nutrients including vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants.
